It must be a hassle but I suppose its bringing in income and its says
that
you live in a nice clean block.

Apparently, they can do that.
There have been a few times this summer where those trailers have been
parked on my street (400 S. 45th ) and I have had to ask neighbors what
was going on. Also, I know of no official communication to
neighborhood residents about the shoots here.
I just got my very first notice in my door yesterday, that they will be
filming again on September 2nd. I just got off the phone with the
Location’s Office because I am expecting an important delivery that day
and wanted to know if the shoot would interfere with that.
They were very genial and said they would notify their people of the
delivery and attempt to work around it. They gave me the name of
somebody on the shoot to contact if I run into any problems. We’ll
see...
Luckily for me I have off-street parking, but I can imagine the hassle
involved for those who do not.

I don't remember any discussion or

Baltimore) informing me that certain locations (including the 4400
Block of Larchwood and areas near Clark Park) would be off limits for
parking effective Sept 1 with no end date anywhere on the form.
Can they do that? Just take over blocks of parking? Is this generating
revenue for the area businesses? Is the community getting anything from
this? We haven't seen them in the White Dog since they've been here.

Subject: [UC] "Hack" filming in our neighborhood
About two weeks ago, I was talking
with a friend, and he complained a bit
about the parking situation when _Hack_ films in the neighborhood. I
sorta
of made conciliatory noises (I don't own a car, and I like the idea
that my
neighborhood's such a great location), but he complained about how
nobody
seemed to have _asked_ anyone about the production coming into the
neighborhood. Ive since spoken to several people who live on blocks
where
filming's happened, and I heard the same story; it's as if someone had
decided that the "filming next day" signs were all the warning the
neighborhood needed.
Production companies aren't usually that callous, and there's the
city's
film production office to deal with, so it's my guess that the
producers of
_Hack_ must have spoken to _someone_ about filming in our neighborhood.
Whoever or whatever that was, they didn't seem to have notified anybody
about the way _Hack_'s production would affect our neighborhood.
Now I'm watching the students return, and there's the more-than-usual
glut
of cars along our streets, and I'm wondering if any local production in
the
fall's going to create even _more_ problems. And frankly, I'd rather
not
have _Hack_ move into some other place for filming; like I said, it's
another reason to be proud of the neighborhood.
So I'd like to throw out a general, open-question thing to this list.
Has
there been any kind of open community discussion about this? Has there
been
any attempt to develop methods for handling the parking situation? Has
production helped out local economy in any big way (i.e., does the crew
ever eat food that's not catered?) Has anyone experienced any impact--
good, bad, whatever-- as a result of the production?
